If you have the beta flyfishing update, it can mess up casting a regular pole for some reason. Not sure if something got misplaced but for me I have to put the boat in drive mode then go back to fishing mode to be able to cast normal.

have you tried the mouse wheel to let out the line? haven't played the fly fishing beta in a while but that's what i remember is to use the mouse wheel and let the line out and then use the mouse the swing the rod

i don't mean anything offensive by this if you all ready knew just trying to help

P.S. you said you clicked and nothing happened with the Fly Rod this post is only about the fly fishing cant say anything about the standard rods i had the same problem with them.

Ive caught Trout, Bass, and Crappie on the fly rod on here but the nymphs and streamers wont sink so they have to be close to the surface i hope the casting gets fixed in the next patch and the nymphs and streamers sink in the future i know that paul said that he was going to put the fly fishing on hold for the next patch

I'm glad that you got the fly rod casting its too bad that the normal rod wont cast like it should
